Michael Owusu Addo known professionally as Sarkodie is a Ghanaian rapper and entrepreneur from Tema. His contributions to the Ghanaian music industry have earned him numerous accolades, including the Vodafone Ghana Music Award for “Artiste of the Decade”
His recent song ‘Happy Days’ is making a lot of noise in Ghana, but not because of what most may think. His song is catching a buzz because it shocked many people as he came out to endorse Ghana’s political party NPP. A party most of his fan base doesn’t align with.
But what is making more buzz is the fact that the singer on his chorus, Kuame Eugene came out and spoke about his involvement in the song. According to Kuame Eugene he was duped into making or being a part of this song. As far as he was concerned the initial song he was sent had no political lyrics or affiliation prior to writing and performing his contributions.
It was only until the video recording did he realize that Sarkodie had added two more verses endorsing Ghana’s current president. The two controversial issues has the country talking about his latest song and if Ghana’s leading rapper allegedly took $100,000 to make an NPP song and even worst, duped his featured singer into participating and not paying him a penny. Watch Kuame Eugene outline what happened below and listen to the song further down.
Here the song below.

UPCOMING TOP EVENTS!
Ghana’s leading fashion event Accra Fashion Week is scheduled for 7-11 December 2022 following their 5th-year celebration last year in 2021. Accra Fashion Week is a platform for African designers that can be compared to fashion weeks across the major capitals. It aims to fill the void which sees tremendous creativity and culture across the continent with the absence of an operating fashion infrastructure.
The epic event took place at Ghana Dubai in Accra, and saw models march down the steps from the Kwame Nkrumah Monument whilst being followed by a spotlight, before circulating the central fountains. Memories of the exciting night still give chills as guests revisit the experience on youtube.
However, rest assured that 2022 is going to be even more exciting with greater performances and an upgraded designer collection. FashionGHANA.com is sure to bring you the exclusives we did on www.FashionGHANA.com/TV. All last year’s shows are available to watch on youtube. Designer’s registration is ongoing on the AccraFashionWeek.org website.
As we embark on another year of celebrating African culture, our theme for 2022 is “Afrofuturism.” This term was created to explore the developing intersection of cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of history as it relates to the African Diaspora. During this year’s events, Afrochella will bring “Afrofuturism” to life through fashion, food, art and music. In 2019, the African Diaspora returned home to the continent for the “Year of Return.” This year, we will explore the endless possibilities of what “Afrofuturism” could look like in 2022 and beyond.
